 you can use that to generate hidden services that require authentication.
 Either way, the higher level application needs to talk to the Tor
 Controller, I think. I believe that the Tor Controller will tell you that
 you have an incoming connection from user alice and then you can patch
 that data to your higher level application.

 The relevant tickets for this functionality would be #15588 and #16059.
 I'm tempted to not-a-bug this because the 2 tickets would cover everything
 in this ticket, but as usual, others are free to disagree with me.
